AFB is pleased to announce that the webinar Teaching iPhone and iPad Basics to
Seniors with Vision Loss is now available in the AFB eLearning Center.
This 75 minute presentation by Rachel Buchanan, CVRT, is geared toward new and
practicing vision professionals who work with seniors. More and more often,
vision professionals are being asked to train consumers on their iPads and
iPhones, and it is no longer just traditional technology students. Seniors are
learning to use these devices and improving their quality of life in the
process. This webinar takes a step by step look at how to introduce and teach
an iDevice to a senior who is blind or visually impaired.
The webinar has been approved by ACVREP for 1.25 hours of continuing education
credit.
This is a pre-recorded webinar that will be available to you for a full year to
access as often as you would like when it is most convenient for you. There is
no specific date and time you need to be available. Upon purchase you will be
able to access the audio, transcript, and slides for the webinar.
The webinar can be purchased for $49 from the AFB bookstore.
